Experts witnesses reminded @SenateCA that there are a variety of provisions in the Criminal Code that cover the act of match fixing - but without regulation, it is near impossible to catch it #C218 #bettersportsbetting #cdnpoli

@wellsdavid reminds @SenateCA that the provinces have been asking for this change to the Criminal Code for a decade to allow them to safely bring sports betting to Canada. #C218 #cdnpoli #bettersportsbetting

UPDATE. @SenateCA procedures allow any senator to speak on any bill before us. While I expect to get to #C218 later today, it is uncertain. By agreement we rise at 9pm, so if we don’t get to it tonite we’ll line it up again for Tuesday. #cdnpoli @KevinWaugh_CPC #nlpoli

#C218 is already starting to create jobs in Canada. @Covers GM Mark Harper said: "“We have a dozen positions open in the market right now. We’re at 62 full-time staff and at this time next year, we expect to be over 100.” thestar.com/sports/2021/06/0…

"If professional sports leagues see value and safety in the legalization of this kind of betting, it's hard for us not to be supportive," said Senator Cotter. "They've got more at stake than we senators do on this." cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/spo…
